Fentanyl: Why are so many Americans dying from synthetic opioids? – BBC News
Fentanyl is a potent and highly addictive synthetic opioid, approved for use in the US in the 1960s.
Today, Fentanyl is involved in more deaths in Americans under the age of 50 than any other cause of death, according to the country’s Drug Enforcement Agency.
And now child opioid deaths are also on the rise.

I was (mis)diagnosed with not only SAD and Anxiety disorder but Chemical-imbalance which has been formerly known as alcoholism/drug addiction, I fell into the trap of accepting the "fact" that I'm going to die a Heroin addict and an Alcoholic, tossed my career, all my possessions, marriage, relationship with my loved ones, down the drain to become a career "street pharmacist". I traded my brother's and sisters marriages, my grandparents funerals, quality time with my close friends and loved ones for a circular-life fueled by addiction, violence, pain, anger, withdrawal and blaming others for the mistakes I made. Meanwhile God was patiently waiting and protecting me… Although it took me well over 10 years, I gave up the self-reliant lifestyle to our Lord Jesus Christ and my dad at least got to see his son come home before he passed from a heart-attack in my hands on the bathroom floor. Although I really, really miss him, I can't wait to join him in praising God for everything good He has done in my life…

Honestly, until today, id never say this because care about people a lot, but it's their choice and there is no problem. To have a single breath on earth is an enormous spiritual and experential privilege. To wield it day to day is a incredible responsibility and power. And I pereceive evidence it's not the end anyway.
Grateful for their presence when it lasted. Grateful to even be able to feel pain and missing when they are gone. Grateful for friends around still.

The reason this happening is bc the government created it…they stopped access to real pills for people who need them…nobody dies off real pills…but we have no choice but to get pain meds else where….wakeup people…they just opened up a new lane a potential deadly one bc theyre dumbasses…people wont stop taking pain meds bring real ones back

I have known about fentanyl since 2010-11 someone was selling it in a small town close to where I lived he had half the town hooked on this poison and admitted to me that he killed 7 people and overdosed more than 30.
At first, I didn't believe him but as the years passed by and fentanyl began to surface in the mainstream media around 2014 that is when I realized that he wasn't lying and the sick thing is, he had this smirk on his face when he told me about it like he was happy or something he was just a normal looking kid kind of emo looking you would never ever think in a million years he was a fentanyl dealer.
So from that time up until now I know or heard of, probably close to 350 people who have died most of which are younger people in their twenties.
Here is the thing, if you use these super potent synthetic opioids it isn't a matter of if you are going to die, it is a matter of when.

It’s definitely a lot stronger than Diamorphine(Heroin), but it’s scores an average of 10x the strength (with Fentanyl scoring 40-100 points per mg with an average of 50 points per mg and Diamorphine scoring 4-5 points per mg with an average of 5 points per mg),

Why was the promise, because they are in other drugs was the reason given as to why, but why is it made? Why is it so powerful, what’s going on in the body? Why is it being put into other drugs? Why are the individuals making this compound despite the reputation of death? Why kill the customer? Why and 😢who invented it? Sho owns the patent? Is it easy to make compared to other drugs? The real whys
